MP 7,1 "Night Shift" Disappeared When Using Acer XR382CQK 38" UltraWide Monitor?

[zhpenn]

I have upgraded to Acer XR382CQK (3840X1600，38 inch UltraWide Monitor) and Connect with 580x

I found that there is NO "Night Shift" Option on the Display Setting.

But when I connect back to my old DELL U3014(2560x1400) the "Night Shift" came back.

but when connect back to Acer, the "Night Shift" Disappear again.

The main screen in a multi-monitor setup seems to be the only one that shows that option in the Displays System Preferences. Under Displays > Arrangement, if you drag the menubar from to a different screen the Night Shift preference should appear on that new main screen. Maybe it's not configurable per-display and the settings apply to all displays, so Apple only shows it on the main screen? Regardless, if you set the main screen as your Acer by dragging the menubar to it, you should see the Night Shift settings appear on that screen.

Many external displays are not compatible with night shift, including some of Apple's own monitor options. There used to be a list of the ones that were/weren't available in another forum on MR.

I just got a DELL monitor U4301q and had the opposite effect. Night shift is gone. I had a Viewsonic that worked with the night shift. How is FLUX working out for you?

From your screenshot, it looks like MacOS is treating your display as a television, which means you lose out on Night Shift and possibly some other features, as well. I have the same problem with my LG 38" Ultrawide.

Flux works very well and can also disable specific apps
